Hospital Bag(s) Packing List

As a birth doula and prenatal yoga teacher, I try hard to provide my clients and students with as much information as possible to help them feel prepared and empowered for their birthing experience. One thing I’ve been asked a lot over the years is my recommendation for a packing list for the hospital.

So I’ve created an extensive list and recommend that you think about your packing in four categories:

• Labor & Delivery Supplies for Mama

• Postpartum Supplies for Mama

• Partner Supplies

• Baby Supplies

This way, if you organize your bag into these four categories, everything will be easier to find. OR you can pack two bags: one for the labor and delivery, the other for postpartum.
